LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top four leading vendors in their recent global bicycle crank motor market 2016-2020 report. This research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
According to the latest report by Technavio, the demand and sales of crank motors is expected to rise considerably during the forecast period, as demand for pedelecs and e-bikes is increasing. Rapid urbanization has resulted in traffic congestion, which is leading to the high adoption of e-bikes as they provide a healthier and more environmentally friendlier mode of transportation.
Competitive vendor landscape
As of 2015, only a few key vendors operate in the global bicycle crank motor market. This market is powered by rapid innovation and investments for developing lighter and more efficient crank motors are necessary for the market to grow further during the forecast period.
“Crank motors are gaining popularity in the market and are preferred over hub motors. We expect this aspect to intensify competition and attract new entrants during the forecast period,” says Siddharth J, Technvio’s lead automotive electronics research analyst.
Technavio analysts estimate that the four major players contribute about 65%-70% to the global bicycle crank motor market based on their respective product portfolio and distribution network. The top position in the market is held by Bosch in terms of revenue and profitability, followed by Panasonic, Yamaha, and Continental.
